Hello, got these chicks from Meyer Hatchery they're olive eggers. Originally I only ordered four chicks I got (2 easter eggers, 1 olive egger, and 1 speckled sussex) but Meyer hatchery doubled our order so we got another 4 chicks, although they were free, I was not ready to have 8, if that was the case I would have gotten different breeds. Although one dosen't look like a pullet and I'm quite concerned, they also look pretty much the same, you can see the one has longer feathers, she also has tail feathers in and the other dosen't and they're both the same age (roughly) 7 days old, I'm quite worried that it's feathers are very delayed, can you wing-sex a "mutt"? I've also heard of people's olive eggers laying brown eggs, can anyone tell me their experience of buying olive eggers from Meyer's? Slightly wish I would've found a local breeder instead :hmm

It is much to early to be able to sex them! Update with photos in another 6 weeks or so for a better guess.
I don't have any experience with Meyer's. Good luck with all the new additions! :ya
